From Ben Hammersley, via Warren Ellis’s crazed and delightful blog Die Puny Humans:
“Is there a bit of film, television or music that you’d really like to have, but which you can’t find on the net? Make a plea to the rest of the internet by writing it on your own blog, and then sending a Trackback ping to the new url: http://culture.lazyweb.org/lazywebtb.cgi
“Just linking to this page usually works. The Culture LazyWeb then creates a page for your request, with a space for others to leave comments, and an individual RSS feed for each request.”
Oooh, wow.
What I’d really love:
(a) For the US-culturally-impaired half of the household: the Alka-Seltzer “At’sa speecy-spicy meatball” commercial. (And about a hundred other things, but that’ll do to start with.)
(b) Jack Benny and the Penguins.
(c) Twinkles the Elephant.
(sigh) However, you need either a Movable Type-based blog, or the TrackBack standalone tool, to make this work. The standalone I should be able to figure out with time — but right now there’s too much going on: it’s going to have to wait a few weeks. Ah well.
(Then again, I have been flirting with the concept of duplicating OOA in Movable Type to see how I liked it. Again, it’s got to wait.)
